Yes, my one man crusade to tell all who will listen that the Emperor has no clothes continues. If you feel the word needs another email client, or another web browser, both of which are substandard to what is already out there, then this release is for you!

However, if you enjoyed AOL and things like profiles, chat rooms, etc., then you will be VERY disappointed. If you were looking for an AOL Client on par with the Windows version, you will be VERY disappointed. If you were looking for an IM client that at least had what iChat or Adium has, you will be disappointed if you 're looking for parity with what AOL/AIM for Windows has you will be VERY disappointed.

AOL has had 5 years...FIVE, years, one more time...F-I-V-E years to come up with a plan to support the Mac platform. This is the result...

As Jack Nickolson says "Go sell crazy someplace else where all full here..."

You would think after all this time they would "get it", but they just don't. It's like AOL for Mac is Algebra for a 15 year old with ADD.
